Flimsy Coming Soon

Three days of playing with scraps and yardage. Just need 2 borders to make this a finished baby quilt flimsy. Blessings,
 

Back to Quilting

 Back to quilting.  After my mishap, it was slow going to return to working in the sewing room. Since I could only piece, I began two more projects. One is a scrappy star quilt and one is a square in a square. And then I bought the latest issue of Quilter's World and a third quilt block was started. There are so many very nice quilts in this issue that I think I'll have a lot of ideas for more baby quilts.

Here is the scrappy star.  It's going to be a baby quilt. Five blocks done.

Here is the square in a square. Also destined to be a baby quilt.  Three blocks done.

Lastly, the Wendy Shepard quilt block from Quilter's World. You guessed it  - another baby quilt. One block done

And that one I was quilting?  It is done and off to be claimed by a low income, first time mother.  My ladies came back from the quilt shop all nicely humming with pleasure at getting cleaned, tension adjusted and needle centered.  We're back in business!

What are you up to?  Leave me a comment and I'll visit your blog. I'm linking to Finished or Not Friday and Kelly's My Quilt Infatuation. Go there to see all the goodies! Blessings,

All Comes to A Halt

 Sighhhh....  While I was quilting I  ran my finger, somehow, under the needle. Went right through my left index fingernail right through to the other side. I yelled and jerked my hand back and broke the needle.  It didn't break the bone. Just came out at an angle on the other side. Blood! 

After I cleaned up and doctored it, I left the sewing room for three days.  Thought I'd do some piecing. Well, the tension was shot to hell, so no sewing.  That was my Juki TL2010Q.  My Bernina Activa 130  also had a tension problem. So on I went to my Janome Harmony - my take to classes machine. Well, it runs fine but I don't have a FMQ foot for it, so that leaves me with piecing to do.

Here's as far as I got on the SAHRR:

The shop said it would two weeks until they are back. Guess I'll do a lot of piecing until then.
